last night Mr. Parkman, of Boston, moved
that a caucus be held on Thursday after
noon after the adjournment of the Senate

oped, and the statements were made by some
Of the signers Of the call for this meet.
hg that unless the desire for a caucus was
unanimous or practically so, on the part of

Attempted EvictIons.

DUBLIN, Jan. 12.-Whc!esale evictions
were attempted at Roslea to-day, where 1000
people had congregated to receive Mr. John
Dillon. The crowd had become so large that
special force Of police had been drafted
from among the villagers, and these and the
police assisting the bailiff came into collision
with the assembled peasants The latter
were armed with sticks and the former used
their batons freely. The crowd was finally
driven back with many broken heads. Mr..
Dillon, who arrived meanwhile, strongly
protested against the action of the police,
and the Catholic clergy present also de-
nounced the police for their violence, but at
the same time persuaded the crowd to return
home, which they did. The evictions were

SuEz Jan. l3-Dr Junker, the Russian
explorer, and friend of Emin Pasha, the be-
leagured Turkish viceroy Of equatorial
Africa, arrived here to-day, and will go i'm
mediately to Cairo. He urges the utmost
haste in organizing and dispatching the expe-

points out the necessity that the men com
posing the expedition should be picked With
special reference to the peculiar duty they
will be called upon to perform and the hard
ships they will necessary undergo; and also
insists that they shall be well equipped.
Should these requirements not be complied
with there is danger that the expedition may
result disastrously.

the Geary street cable road was in Scott
street yesterday afternoon an explosion oc-
Cured, which was heard for several blocks
and which badly ratified the windows in the

found that the wooden work of the dummy
was complete wreck, the front seats being
blown off, oaken cross supports snapped like
straws and the foot boards split their entire
length. BY extraordinary chance none of
the passengers, though several were riding,
were injured. There is no doubt that dyna-
